Thanks for sending out another email. Too bad that Alesis can't come through for their customers. On the flip side though - it's also too bad Microsoft charges so much to approve driver support. But alas - the customer suffers. |

| Alesis has a point. I consider Microsoft the problem in this case. If I was a product developer, I wouldn't waste the money either. I view a 64-bit OS the same way I view Vista, unproven and unnecessary for what I'm doing.

I agree with the guy from Alesis completely. I think he bent over backward to explain the situation and I would call that coming through for customers just fine. Not many companies would take the time to answer you completely and honestly. In audio there is no reason for a 64 bit O/S. In fact there are very few applications for which it is necessary. I think computers with 64 bit O/S should have a customer warning attached to them. I think manufacturers who build a computer for general use and install a 64 bit O/S are not doing anybody any favors. They do it for marketing purposes and it isn't the right thing to do. I think most people who make the mistake of installing a 64 bit O/S would do well to wipe it and install a 32 bit. Does anybody know if the new Seven O/S is going to be 64 bit only? |

On the other hand 64bit OS's will EVENTUALLY take over. So why not support the early adopters? I would get all the feedback I could get my hands on; stability, driver performance, etc. I've seen plenty of requests for 64bit driver support - Cubase 5 is now 64bit compatible and they've lowered their prices. You can pick up a full version copy for $500.(i know that's still a lot of dough, but hey it's better then $700), and you can pick up an upgraded version for $200 (completely reasonable IMO). The bottom line here is that the consumer loses. It really doesn't matter who's at fault, they (Alesis and M$) need to find a solution, so that we can use the products as intended.

I see this thread goes back a year. It is now June 2009 and still no drivers!!! I am in the same situation. I just ordered a system based on the I7 processor and plan on running Windows 7 x64 version with 12 gigs of ram. From all my searching I see I am screwed when it comes to running my Alesis MultiMix 16 USB. With more and more music software supporting 64 bit operating systems, it amazes me that Alesis is so far behind. I will really be pissed if I can't use my new system the way I intended. 64 bit is no longer on the fringe of computing. It is slowly becoming mainstream as top of the line DAW software is able to maximize its potential. Neil |

My letter to Alesis: I own a MultiMix16 USB 2.0 and have just upgraded my computer to an I7 with 12 gigs of ram. I upgraded in order to take advantage of the new 64 bit music software that is hitting the market. It is unacceptable that Alesis has not made any headway in the availability of 64 bit drivers for its hardware as other music hardware manufactures have. Vista 64 and Windows7 provide us with so many rich opportunities and it is amazing that a mainstream manufacturer like Alesis is turning their heads. I have been using Alesis hardware since the late 80's, with a dusty Quadraverb and HR-16 to prove it. I now have a mixer that is useless until you make the needed drivers available. I know it involves time and money to stay on the cuttung edge, but that is what has brought Alesis a loyal following in the past. I hope to see a turnaround. It hase been well over a year since people have been voicing their need for these drivers and except for some responses that really question our intelligence, nothing has been don to remedy this situation. Please give this some serious thought. Neil Leder shrink57@comcast.net |
